MFJ Federal, MFS State (MD and CA)
In this scenario:
Spouse 1: Lives all year and earns all income in MD.
Spouse 2: Lives all year and earns all income in CA.
I've read in a separate post (https://community.freetaxusa.com/discussion/765/mfj-while-living-in-different-states) that you can create 3 accounts to tackle this issue. One for MFJ federal, one for the MFS in state 1, and one for the MFS in state 2.
I started with the account to MFS in state 1. I'm running into the issue at "Final Steps" where I do not see an option to allow me to mail my federal and state returns. It takes me to the screen that says "Congratulations! Your federal return will be prepared and e-filed for free!" and is prompting for payment with the Pay Now button before I see any option to not send the federal return.
Has the software changed since the suggestion was posted?
